Penrith Match Result

The first four pairings started in heavy rain but the tail enders got round dry. Penrith could only manage three halves which gave us a comfortable win.
Our professional's coaching session yesterday proved very informative and we did manage about an hour and a half's bunker and chipping practice between showers. The next session teaching another aspect of the game is pencilled in for 11th September.

Thursday 10th August

I'm informed that twelve turned out, Mike Walton winning with 36 points and Tony Davis second with 34.
Next Monday our Professional has organised a two hour coaching session limited to eight Sandpipers for bunker and chipping practice. There is one space left at the moment and the sheet is on our notice board. Well worth the money at £5 per person.

Tuesday 8th August

Calm and warm conditions today and a good turnout of twenty six trying to win the Carrick Trophy. Eddie Varah came out on top with 38 points beating Clive Milburn on countback. Next Tuesday is our home match against Penrith.

Tuesday 1st August

Too windy for most of us playing in the Ronnie Thompson Trophy medal competition but not for Andy Edwards who carded an excellent nett 68. Lynn Hopkins came second five shots behind.
Note that this Thursday is a normal Sandpipers day as the Junior Open has been put back to Friday.
